So I just bottled my first ever batch. So pumped. Upon cleaning up it seems as though my siphon and bottle tip have become one with the tubing. I can't pull them apart without potential breakage ofthe siphon and tip. I ran oxy clean and water thru it followed by star San. Is it fine to just...

Sounds great! I may have to wait till spring. I don't have any temp control and my basement has been running about 64 and outside temps are dropping in MN :/

Congrats! So 14 days in primary then how long in the bottle?

Great thanks! I'm thinking I'll end up reusing them about 2-3 weeks after opening the original packaging. My intention in this endeavor is to make a new recipe every 2-3 weeks and when I start getting the hang of it and/or find a winner I'll make a larger batch. Thanks for all the help in my...
